React-native: moving focus into TextInput prevents button presses

[mvolkmann]

If my code moves focus to a particular TextInput and I press a "button" (TouchableOpacity), the first press doesn't work. I guess that just moves focus out of the TextInput. Then the next press works. This doesn't seem like the expected behavior.

This same problem was brought up here, and they didn't actually find a solution to the actual problem, so I'm interested in an answer to this as well. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4229

8234 solves my problem

set keyboardShouldPersistTaps of ScrollView to true

[nicoleWong007]

A TextInput with some related buttons and a list ,#8234 cannot help, especially when callback function of TextInput‘focus event make the list showed

Many scenarios where this behavior would be desirable, such as a login form, are not in a scroll view

Setting contentProps={{keyboardDismissMode: 'interactive', keyboardShouldPersistTaps: 'handled'}} on the parent ScrollView fixes it for me. Got this from #4229 thanks to @antonKalinin.

In places such as LoginScreen or simple TextInput with TouchableOpacity, it still requires double tap(iOS) to call the function. anyone found any work around other than ScrollView or ListView ?
